SYLVANIA - Temperatures in the triple digits can cause some to take desperate measures to ensure their electricity is in working order. A Planters EMC representative stated the occupants of a Burton's Ferry Highway residence had been cut off from electrical power on June 14, said Sgt. Marty Martinez with Sylvania PD. Martinez responded to a complaint last week that the occupants continued to receive electricity because they removed a meter face and plug with the plate from another Sylvania residence. The two offenders were able to continue illegally receiving electricity, he said, by hooking up the equipment to their own residence.
